Healing Touch Program is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's (ANCC). ANCC only permits nursing continuing education (CE) contact hours to be issued ONE time for an educational course. This means that anyone repeating a class (repeat students, coordinators and classroom helpers/mentors) will not receive ANCC CE contact hours for the class. The class certificate for anyone repeating a class will not have the ANCC wording at the bottom. The hours on the certificate may be used for HTP practitioner/instructor certification renewal but not as nursing continuing education hours. 

Prerequisite: Healing Touch Certified Practitioner
Cost: $475
CE contact hours: 27

The Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation has a new President, Karen Chin, RN, MS, HTCP/I. Karen's presentation at the 2012 HT Worldwide Conference focused on HTP and HTWF's support with Healing Touch in Nepal. Aparna Bhutto is now certified to teach HT Levels 1 and 2 and is teaching in Nepal and S.E Asia, with plans to reach southern India.

Roberta Davis-Lewis HTWF Auction

HTWF wishes to graciously thank the conference participants and Healing Touch community for their enthusiasm, support and generosity, as the Foundation raised about $13,000.00! This included proceeds from raffle tickets and the silent and live auctions. Anne Boyd, Jane Hightower and  Jeannette Nienaber generously donated 100% of their proceeds of their  readings and healing sessions to the Foundation. The hand blown glass Kitras balls were a real hit, as all of these beautiful centerpieces on the conference banquet tables were successfully bid upon and found loving homes! The last of Janet Mentgen's relics were auctioned off this year. We thank the Mentgen family for their generous donation of Janet's personal belongings.

HTWF is actively looking for people to help round out its active, forward-looking Board of Trustees as we set our intention to become a $1,000,000 (and more!) organization. Please remember that our support of research, service projects and outreach is an extremely important way of spreading Healing Touch worldwide. The planet is ready for us!

With the support of HTPA and HTP, Local HTPA Chapters provide the vehicle for those who want to create and/or expand their Healing Touch Community. Local HTPA Chapters are part of HTPA's Community Connections and have access to consultation with HTPA's Executive Director when requested.  In keeping with HTPA's purpose to unite and give voice to the HT Community (students, practitioners, instructors and friends of Healing Touch), the specific goals for Local HTPA Chapters are as diverse and creative as the individuals that make up the Chapter.  

The main goal/vision HTPA set for the Local Chapters is to Create Community. There are nearly unlimited activities for Chapters to provide. Local HTPA Chapters are facilitated by at least one HTPA Member/Lead but ALL, including non-members, are welcome to join in and participate (It is not required to be an HTPA member and it is FREE).

"Voice for HOPE - Healers of Planet Earth - What, Why and How?"   

Interview with Denise Lewis Premschak, CEO of Voice for HOPE

HTPA has made a commitment to become more closely aligned with the organizations that we have established relationships with in the past so that we can strengthen our ties, build more rapport, exchange useful information, utilize our databases to help each other inform our members and the general public about who we are and what we do, take more advantage of each others resources and specifically create a louder Voice for our HT Community.  Voice for HOPE is one such organization that has the values, commitment, determination and high professional standards similar to HTPA.  

The Mission of Voice for HOPE is to advance the well-being of humanity by ensuring that producers, practitioners and consumers of complementary, alternative and integrative health and wellness services and products have meaningful participation in the development of public policy through educating policy makers and the general public, and promoting the rights of individual consumers and their families to information, access, redress and choice.

Denise will tell us more about just what the Goals of HOPE are, what they are doing to secure "freedom to choose your path to wellness" and how we can participate. This Interview will give you the information you need to be informed about how to protect your right to practice and then be empowered to accurately inform your clients..

Please join us for this opportunity to learn and ask questions about how you can get involved in helping to inform your local, state and national policy makers about our practice and its benefits. Click here to register.

What a blast! Singing, dancing, strolling the River Walk - oh, yes, Conference too! It was an amazing four days of fun, friendship and fascination as the speakers and workshops blended together in my mind and heart to strengthen my training and knowledge about energy and energetic health care.

Karen Drucker and the Drucketts Tine Devoe, Cynthia Hutchison, Dorothea Hover-Kramer

One of the many personal highlights of Conference this year was listening to and meeting singer and songwriter Karen Drucker. Her energy and passion for reaching into hearts with her music was uplifting and totally enjoyable. I was thrilled with her song lyrics that so perfectly align with energy work.

Energy work comes at us from all kinds of perspectives. That too was clear at conference, we heard about scientific evidence that the heart is actually the more powerful 'brain' within the human body. We also learned about research being done and the difference between good and excellent studies.

My sense of conference had an unusual revolutionary image as I witnessed the moments and days pass by. From the incredible Olympic Themed Opening Ceremonies to the extinguishing of the Flame, I saw one revolution after another as each speaker, presenter and workshop turned and weaved with one another like single gears of a complex machine. I had a great time!
